Really cool story. The Angliru was a hard day for Nibali.
Is he doing the Taiwan KOM thing again?

Re:
No, think he's off to Zanzibar for holidays. Thinking about next season, how Giro is shaping to have a good parcours for him and Franco retiring I just realized that there might be a problem with his Giro team. I can see only two riders who could fully support him, Pozzo and Caruso. Plus there's no roommate left.

Re: Re:
Mohoric should be some assistance, no? Chaos everywhere with that dude.
And Dennis could do work if they decide to use him for that. If the Tour is what is rumoured it's not really worth it for Dennis to go there either.

Re: Re:
If it's the Tour they can also brin Dylan Teuns, the team would probalbly be Nibali, Caruso, Pozzo, Dennis, Teuns, Mohiric, Sieberg and Colbrelli (or even Haussler).
That would be a really strong team on all kind of Terrain, strong in the TTT, Sieberg and Colbrelli to proteect Nibali on the flat, Caruso, Pozzo and Dennis for the mountains and Teuns and Mohoric for attacking in the medium mountains/hills.
In the Giro you'd probably have Padun instead of Teuns and maybe even Pernsteiner.
Padun also had a great first year as a neopro and raced his first gt and Pernsteiner could also be a decent climbing domestique for a gt that isn't the Giro.Red Rick said:He got him a contractSestriere said:Rollthedice said:

Has anyone seen the purito interview on mundodeportivo where he talks about nibali and the future of bahrain?
Google doesnt wanna translate on my tablet so i dont really understand what he s saying.
I still cant wrap my head around the fact they dont wanna give him a contract till 2021. There are no excuses for this.

Regarding Nibali they asked to him about his declarations on Sky, he said that if he has offers mean that is a very important rider, they want to keep him very much and the intention is to extend his contract.Lo squalo di messina said:Has anyone seen the purito interview on mundodeportivo where he talks about nibali and the future of bahrain?

Seems just PR, probably if Nibali wants to go to Sky he'll go even if it's strange considering that Bahrain is actually "his" team, was him that created the team with his friend sheik and his agent is the general manager.
Re: Re:
Padun looks like the real deal. Very good signing.

Re:
There has to be some reason why he s willing to leave the team. Although i can see multiple reasons why sky would want him i m sure he wont end up there. He would have to leave slongo , palini and the rest of his crew behind.
I cant see that happening.
Thank you sir but yeah i dont get it either.Nirvana said:Regarding Nibali they asked to him about his declarations on Sky, he said that if he has offers mean that is a very important rider, they want to keep him very much and the intention is to extend his contract.Lo squalo di messina said:Has anyone seen the purito interview on mundodeportivo where he talks about nibali and the future of bahrain?

Alex Carera is business and marketing manager at TBM, together with brother Johnny they manage Vincenzo's career since ages and they are also friends. I can't imagine he will not get an extension offer. Either way, I guess Nibali's statements are just part of a strategy to sell himself better or maybe he just spoke his mind but the result is the same, to make everybody aware that he is open for business for 2020.
As far as i i know he has a contract offer till the end of 2020. Problem is he wants a long term extension till the end of 2021.
They should be able to work that out internally but no nibs makes clear he s open for business like a year in advance.
Oh well we ll see what happens, if he does move it will probably be trek.

Maybe something didn't work out well during the recovery from the injury, maybe he wants the 2020 with no GT going for GC and team doesn't agree, maybe it's nothing, who knows.
Tour isn´t looking so bad if he can fully recover from his injury. Multiple 2000m+ climbs should be in his favor. Only the TTT could be a problem again. If he canreach this years Tour shape again he has a real shot. Wonder how the Giro route wil look. Has Nibali mentioned anything new concerning his GT schedule after the Tour presentation?
I think the high altitude aspect is overrated. Nibali surely is good on high altitude but the distance is way more important for him and as all but two mountain stages are pretty short I'm not sure whether the route really suits him. On the other hand the giro is supposed to be the hardest in years so I think it's more likely to suit him
He doesn't stand a chance on that Tour route. Giro is the only GT where I believe he still has a chance, and 2019 route looks good to me.
